Thanks for stopping by. Grab a cup of tea and feel free to browse around.
Read a smattering of my poems, see which poems were just sold and which are now published, uncover secrets about that elusive muse, and all that other stuff (like my obsession about alignment).

24 April 2011: My free flash fiction ebook Renewal is now out on Smashwords. Renewal was originally published in The Martian Wave in 2002 and it was released again on April 21st 2011 after Skynet failed to become sentient on April 20th. May it be a reminder to all ambitious droids that world domination is most likely unexciting after all the humans are gone.

About me:
Christina Sng, human, resident of the world, lives on the Equator with her husband, their 2 small children, and four immensely precocious cats.
Her poems have appeared in numerous North American, British, and Australian publications, and her work has received honourable mentions in the Year’s Best Fantasy and Horror and a Rhysling nomination.
These days she expends her creative energy making toys for her children and teaching them (the children, and sometimes the toys) how to thrive in our world. Still, once in a long while, from out of the fairy dust, a poem emerges.

Poem for May:
MOON
Pearl in the sky,
Hanging from
The cosmic clothesline,
Sunning all your craters
They are quite dry.
Your neighbours,
A cloudy aquamarine
With swirls of activity
And a quiet red ruby,
Sitting placidly,
Like you,
Traversing the sky
Silent,
Save for
The occasional woosh
As young Hailey speeds by
With his tail on fire.
He cuts a path,
Bending the stuff
Your skies are made of.
The wake
Reverberates,
Bounces against
The other end of the wall
But you don’t feel it.
Maybe it doesn’t exist at all.
